Astrid de Longvilliers

I have built a tech-related, commercially focused practice working on a broad variety of tech-related contracts, supporting clients across multiple industry sectors, including clients operating in highly regulated industries.

I am an Associate in our Commercial Group, based in London. I am enthusiastic and motivated by understanding my clients' businesses so that I can provide tailored legal advice which truly addresses their needs.

In particular, my day to day includes reviewing and negotiating contracts ranging from product supply, services and framework agreements, software licensing, development, hosting and support contracts and large outsourcings, and engaging with clients' in-house legal, commercial, financial and technical leads in doing so.

I have worked on a number of large-scale, high value commercial projects, typically with a technology element. I am skilled in managing the multiple workstreams often involved in major projects.

I also have a particular interest in cybersecurity and the space and satellite industry.
